HyperFuse "Code" Keycap
« on: Fri, 13 July 2018, 00:48:50 »
I just received a HyperFuse Origins keyset and its amazing.

I was curious about the origin of the "Code" key cap and why its part of the HyperFuse keyset design. Coming from a software dev, I love the keycap, nice little detail.

Code is a default mold you can use when ordering a set from GMK, much like Ctrl or Alt. I don't think there's any story behind it other than the set designer not wanting to use a Win or windows logo key instead.

Didn't know it was a default mold. I thought the designers might have had software related interests/background. Thanks for info!

I like how the code key is usually in a different font color if the keyboard is a three color theme. I use it as my windows key :)

It's partly software-dev related. As more people get into this hobby, macOS or Linux folks find it annoying to see a WIN key on their keyboards, so custom keysets start using either SUPER or CODE instead.
